  1. William laying it out. Thanks, as always, @Longhornfrenzy Getting that CB upgrade. Great stuff! Gotta take the good with the bad when you're hitting the portal hard late in the second quarter. Oh, wait, there's more to the story of Humphrey and A&M. S.O.B. ditched us a year ago! To stay at Georgia! WTF? [The parrots get restless. How are we supposed to feel?] No worries. William to the rescue with impeccable reasoning: You see, the guy loved A&M coming out of high school. The recruitment must have been very close. What? No visit to College Station? Well, then, there must have been a lot of predictions for A&M if Humphrey wanted to wear the Maroon and White. Nope. William, you sure about this guy's commitment to the dear old Texas Aggies? Jilted you twice for Georgia and only came your way when he lost his starting role. This one of those, from the inside you can't explain it things? I guess it's enough for the parrots.

    It's the American Way! On another front, I still hear nothing about Christian Nationalism on NPR when the professors and geniuses are only interested in discussing the small percentage of voters who switched to Trump. It's a forest for the trees world out there. Christian Nationalists hate gays and strong women making their own choices. The movement has turned women against women tapping into very Christ-like fear and hate. And just about no discussion of this tidal force in US politics. Christian hate is way outside the lazy template of an increasingly timid Fourth Estate. We'll see if they catch on when states, likely led by Texas, pass laws forbidding suspected homosexuals from teaching in public schools or working in pediatrics.
  3. And we're the insufferably arrogant ones. No ranked team sees A&M as above them. I'm sure Bowling Green (senior laden, ya know) was pretty impressed with the Aggies. Other schools? Not so much.
  4. I think that's in the hands of the players to start an auction. Texas being quiet doesn't prevent their agents from testing the waters. Maybe Sark just doesn't want the circus element.
  5. Is it as big a deal as Pool Party?
  6. I've listened to our award winners and some other Longhorns the last few days. I don't hear them speak much because player interviews usually bore me. You can hear the higher GPA when these guys express themselves. I recall a reporter noting the difference in Longhorn player performance in press interviews versus USC's players back in 2005. I've always liked, since the DKR days when I first recall Texas football, how our players present as smiling and mature in their team photos. Not all of the players have been models of the way young men should be, but a lot of guys from here are good sorts. I'm avoiding the "well-spoken" trap as best I can. I did have an unconscious prejudice in expectation of what Black athletes might sound like long ago. I've been internally embarrassed to have had to root it out as I heard and was around more Black people. Avery Johnson of the Spurs looked like a thug to me. What an idiot I can be. Anyway, I like being proud of our guys beyond on-field performance. For every Erxleben there are many guys like Earl or Ricky or Taaffe or Huff or Colt. It adds to the pleasure of being a Longhorn when we're winning. Lastly, I don't claim that we're the only team that has such players. I'm glad that we're one of them is all.
  7. It was the freeze frame on google. It's what drew my attention. Such genius. These cartoons worked brilliantly on the big screen back in the old days when they showed cartoons before the feature.
  8. Oh, William. The long rollercoaster ride awaited. As did the result.
  9. linux redux (no grudge for linux)
  10. I don't have any great knowledge of what's going on with other teams, but it appears USCe is for real. I think it's nearer a sure loss unless South Carolina is decimated by the portal and graduation. Of course, they won't face the grind of facing the Bowling Green Seniors this year. Some of those SEC away games might be at night.
  11. Same time. Same places. Same record.
  12. Learning your value on the market can open one's eyes to one's overestimation of oneself. The lesson: you gotta get to work, son.
  13. See, their class is as good as ours! Well, almost.
  14. I'm reminded of the term, Slocum's Razor.
  15. Those are astonishing levels of convolution.
  16. How does one define "investing $1 Billion in the USA?" Oh, who cares really? Nobody that matters. Never mind.
  17. Frankly, there is no better person to represent America's voice. It's who we are.
  18. Sark a program builder? Of course not, you fools! He was 5-7 his first year at tu! Their recent consecutive appearances in the college playoff prove just how poorly he's performed as a program builder! Some of you are so stupid! There you have it.
  19. Hi, I'm almost a college quarterback. What do you do? I'm head JV cheerleader.
  20. Actually, your original point addressed the claim that the Duke degree would have value for Murphy. I made a grammar error. Do you admit errors? As for you presuming to know what my goal is in using whom (dative), you project aquality typical of you by almost diagramming a sentence with a single letter wrong. Nice work, Slick. Help yourself to the bowl of Christmas dingleberries on the way out.
  21. A little more from the Marroon Dawn v Vander cage match: [I'm just going to point out the psychopathy of jcag recalling a Maroon Dawn post from three years ago and actually having it bookmarked. That's some heavy Aggie stalker shit there, man.] Vander returns to take up the argument leaving jcag to keep on eye on Maroon Dawn. (Feels like I'm writing a screenplay.) Will he even practice? I see him with wizened visage sagely leaning on a fence post filing his nails. "You boys have any questions about throwing interceptions, I'm your man." Muk agrees: But, wait! Now it seems like he is a stud: That accounts for all of his touchdown passes last year. Wait, he didn't play Georgia last year. From the UAB site for 2023
  22. On Zeno from TexAgs. They're having trouble getting fired up. This is some serious mutinous talk here. Not even one, "if he chose A&M, he must be an Elko culture guy! Look at the film." You know these 23 guys were roaming around waiting for a shepherd to show them the way. Every team wants a back up qb with a history of throwing interceptions. Hope we can find at least one! More insight coming in: Disaster-proof was Zeno's nickname! The 20 upvotes are sips, too? The nickname: bitterness and dawning realization about the direction of the program. Stunning to see this early on TexAgs. The naivetes are restless. Cue sunshine with accompanying pump. The parrots are studying the above to spread the copium. That phrase will return often in the coming month. Maroon Dawn isn't having it: Charlie is a fast-learning parrot. Moving towards "Zeno is perfect for us." Parrots Just cruising past the rest of the dross, I come upon Yogi Berra Ag: You played at A&M! Wow! Were you a starter? I started at back-up quarterback.
